Recorded in 1978, Disco Club “combined the glitz and glamour of disco’s heyday with Maia’s raw funk and soul roots,” shares the label.

Maia created the album at Estudios Level with a band including Paulinha Braga on drums, Jamil Joanes on bass, alongside arranger and keyboardist Lincoln Olivetti.

The LP was reissued once, in 1991 by WEA under the name Sossego with completely different track titles in exactly the same order.

This is Disco Club‘s first ever reissue in its original form, remastered and featuring its replica artwork.
